Clarets target James Tarkowski faces disciplinary action at Brentford after refusing to play against Sean Dyche’s side at Griffin Park.

Following discussions with Bees head coach Dean Smith, the 23-year-old defender declared himself unavailable for selection for Friday evening’s fixture despite being included in the initial XI. Dyche has had an initial offer for the former Oldham man rebuffed while Brentford also confirmed that team-mate Alan Judge has been the subject of a bid from Burnley.
